Geramium Plant Profile and Growing Notes

Geraniums are fairly easy to grow given a humus rich moist but well drained soil. Geraniums do well in pots planters and even hanging baskets. It is interesting to note that many popular 'geraniums' are actually 'perargoniums'.
Pelargonium Pages

Geranium or Pelargonium, What's the Differance?


All "Geraniums" and "Pelargoniums" are related All belong to the family Geraniaceae. In general, Geraniums have symetrical flowers and are refered to as 'Cranes Bills', (Geranium pratense) 'Geranium' or 'Hardy Geraniums'
Pelargoniums are a little more tender than geraniums, but more colorful. So so called Zonal geraniums, Scented geraniums, Regal geraniums and Ivy leafed geraniums are actually pelargoniuns - all have their merits.

Geranium Care and Pruning

Start with plant selection, plants that are tall and straggly are out, look for well formed strong plants. Geraniums prefer full sun and a humus rich well drained moist soil. Geraniums do well if grown in pots or containers. Geramiuns can be pruned back inwinter when growth becomes slower and the plants look untidy. Many gardeners cut back by 1/3 to 1/2. Rust and leaf spot are the major diseases but are easily controlled


Growing Geraniums from Cuttings
Geraniums are fairly easy to strike from cuttings, take a section of stem about 12cm long, remove lower foliage and let the cutting cure for 12 -24 hours (helps prevent rot). Use a light free draining potting mix (dip the lower part of the cutting in some some rooting hormone powder if you wish) place in a pot and build a little hot house or igloo with a plastic bag to help retain humidity. Remember to label with a pot tag.
